There is a William T. Sherman twitter account that rails vs the SEC non-stop. https://twitter.com/WillieB1G Really good work there.

Barkley is probably done, so I'll wager that ND's defense can shut down USC. They are there. I also think the rest of the nation needs to take a que from the SEC and schedule an easy FCS week in November. For the 2nd straight season the highest ranked Big Big 12 team went on the road in...

JVB's season high passing yardage total in a game: 249 Richardson's total tonight in a little under 3 qtrs: 250

What is Rudock's situation? Is this his red shirt year or was it last year?

Jantz was like 36 of 52 last night. I think realistically, he probably could have been 40 or 42 of 52 without the 1st half drops. Can't ask for much more of your QB in that situation. It evened out in the 2nd half though when they caught about 4 balls that Jantz put way behind or too high for...

Has a coach ever gone winless in 2 different BCS conference?

Any road win in conference play is a good win.

Is Iowa at or near 85 scholarship limit on the roster right now? Just by looking at whatever it was....7 or so starters from the 1st 2 classes illustrated here, it seems to bring the attrition thats been in the program to light.

Iowa kid who obviously wasn't recruited by the Hawkeyes, and has been a part of the last 3 miserable seasons at Minnesota. They haven't had anything to play for the last 3 years, so I can see a trophy game being big for him.

Is Iowa at 85 scholarship players on the roster this year? With the RB and D-line defections recentl,y I'm curious if the total number has dipped some down. Its a pretty young team and had a lot of walk-ons in the 2-deeps last year. Seems some attrition has to be in the mix.

I would say that back in 2007, when they beat McCarney's bare cupboard, and Iowa that year was getting stomped by a couple TDs at home vs Indiana...that yes UNI was probably the best team in the state. But other than that year, not likely. UNI has a RS freshman QB this year...hard to see UNI...

Danny Mac went a whooping 7-5 in 2005. Based on their defensive ability that year, that's a team Rhoads wins 9 or 10 games with including the bowl.

McCarney had an easy schedule and a really good defense in 2005, and could only go 7-5. There is truth imo that Rhoads is a better coach, and gets more out of the team. Mac had 5 all big 12 defenders and a cake schedule and his results were only slightly better than a rebuilding Rhoads with 9...

LOL! Why hasn't this comment gotten some love?

Attrition during the last few McCarney years coupled with the 2 coaching changes left ISU's roster pretty depleted until the 2011 and 2012 classes came aboard. When Chizik was at ISU, the Clones had just over 70 scholarship players on the roster. They've had the room under the rule of the 85...

I think like any other week 1 on college football its pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things right now. Both NIU and Tulsa could win their divisions or they could both finish 6-6.

Tolzein actually put up fairly comparable numbers to Wilson in a round about way.....completion %, and yards per attempt were very similar. Wilson attempted more passes obviously, and had a 14th game to do it in. The difference in the 2, Wilson gave the Badgers an all around more dangerous...

Old Dude brought up a great point. The SEC often schedules a cupcake in mid to late November...every freaking year. Based on the system we have in place where 1 slip up in November sinks your whole season....playing a damn FCS opponent in November completely eliminates the opportunity to lose...

This is why those stories on the web about Ferentz being over-paid are a joke. He makes Iowa's athletic department millions each year. It's not some "laughing to the bank BS" they make it out to be, its the university realizing they have a good thing in place right now and would like to keep...
